How to Find Healthy Sources of Protein without eating meat

AS a wellness consultant, I consider myself almost to be a vegetarian, with the exception that my son and I, we eat fish. No meat products for my family. No cow, pork, lamb, chicken, turkey are consumed by us. However, it is important to mention that we do eat fish for the past few years.

  Where do we get protein from? What can you eat instead of meat and still get all the protein your body needs?

The Building Blocks of Life:

Something everyone should know about protein: Every whole food contains protein! Carrots contain it, celery contains it. We do not have to restrict ourselves to nuts, seeds, and beans when thinking about protein. We certainly do not need to focus on animal products. The protein consumed from a balanced plant-based diet appears to be plenty. Many of us have been conditioned to worry about specific nutrients, such as protein. If we just consume the foods the human body is designed for, we don't have to worry about the nutrients and we should experience optimal health.

  I know you maybe questioning yourself, but were are the Soy* products? After my research and personal experience, I don't think soy products are the healthiest choice, nor do I recommend them, and in the resources you'll find a link that will take you to a page where I explain why.

Hope you find this article helpful.
